August 07, 2014 01:26 PM Eastern Daylight Time

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste Political
Action Committee (CCAGW PAC) announced its endorsements of four members
of the South Carolina delegation for re-election to the House of
Representatives; Reps. Jeff Duncan (R), Trey Gowdy (R), Mick Mulvaney
(R), and Mark Sanford (R).

CCAGW PAC based its endorsements on each candidate’s score in CCAGW’s 2013
Congressional Ratings. Each of these candidates is a “Taxpayer
Hero” with a lifetime rating of 90 percent or greater.

With a score of 96 percent, Rep. Mulvaney has the highest lifetime
rating of the four candidates. In CCAGW’s 2012 Congressional Ratings,
Rep. Mulvaney was one of five members of Congress to achieve a 100
percent rating, earning him the coveted title of “Taxpayer Super Hero.”
Rep. Gowdy, has a lifetime rating of 95 percent, and Reps. Duncan and
Sanford have a lifetime rating of 94 percent. During his three terms as
the representative of South Carolina’s First Congressional District from
1995-2001, Rep. Sanford was named a “Taxpayer Super Hero” three times,
and had the second-highest lifetime rating of any member of Congress at
the time he left the House in 2001.

“The courageous actions of each of these public servants has helped cut
wasteful spending, reduce taxes, and make government more accountable
and transparent to taxpayers,” said CCAGW PAC Chairman Tom Schatz. “I
urge South Carolinians to vote for Reps. Duncan, Gowdy, Mulvaney, and
Sanford on Nov. 4 so they can return to Washington, D.C. and continue to
protect the interests of both their constituents and all Americans.”

PAC is affiliated with the Council for Citizens Against Government
